A young California girl was found dead in an apparent suicide over the weekend after she was reportedly bullied by students at her school.

Allison Wendel, 10, was a student at Hazard Elementary School in Santa Ana.

Santa Ana police said the girl’s 9-year-old sister found her unresponsive at their family home on Sunday.

Authorities are investigating the claims that she was bullied at school and they will also be looking into her social media and text messages to determine if she bullied at school, according to ABC 7.

The Garden Grove Unified District released a statement to ABC following news of Allison’s death.

‘We are deeply saddened by the tragic passing of one of our students,’ the statement reads, adding that counselors will be on the campus throughout the week.

The district also addressed the concern that Allison may have been bullied.

‘While the Santa Ana Police Department is conducting a thorough investigation, we have no evidence to support this rumor.

Allison’s classmate, Jacob Ortiz, told the station that Allison always seemed happy.

‘She was always like funny… she was always really nice to everybody. She would give a lot of people hugs a lot,’ he said.

The girl’s family is remembering her as a ‘beautiful angel’ and are raising money on GoFundMe to go toward burial arrangements.
